Tamarindus indicaLinnaeus, Species Plantarum1: 34. 1753.
"Habitat in India, America, Aegypto, Arabia." RCN: 271.
Lectotype(Jansen, Spices, Condiments Med. Pl Ethiopia:. 249. 1981): Herb. Linn. No. 49.2 ( LINN).
Generitypeof TamarindusLinnaeus.
Note:Fawcett & Rendle ( Fl. Jamaica4: 119. 1920), and a number of later authors, indicated unspecified material at LINN as the type, but failed to distinguish between sheets 49.1, 49.2 and 49.3. These are not part of the same gathering so Art. 9.15 does not apply. Larsen & Larsen (in Aubreville& Leroy, Fl. Cambodge Laos Viet-Nam18: 146. 1980) indicated 49.1 (LINN) as type but it lacks the Species Plantarumnumber (i.e. "1") and is not original material for the name. Jansen'schoice, also made independently by Polhill (in Jarvis & al., Regnum Veg.127: 92. 1993), is accepted here.
